The number of complaints regarding Amazon is amazing and unfair. All you need to do is read carefully and you won't "get screwed" . . . . be aware of where you are going. Are you still on Amazon or have you clicked-off onto another site? Like the young lady from New England, USA, I also get my orders shipped free, and that's on top of the discounted prices. I'm more than happy!
For the rest of you photo enthusiasts . . . . . run 2 printers! Yup! (Take advantage of Amazon's pricing and free shipping and you can afford it). Buy printers when they're 1 1/2 - 2 yrs old . . . I run an Epson AIO, (...) That's my everyday scan, print, photo, etc. . . .use generic/compatible inks(from a reputable company, not a junk dealer) . . .all's fine. On top of that I use a piece of software that adjusts my ink output; I can set it at 65% savings/whatever, then run it at 100% when needed. So I'm running compatible ink . . . . . AND stretching it!
I use a Canon for my "fine" photo printing/longevity . . . also bought at less than 1/2 price . . . . (...)! In this printer I use all Canon papers and inks.
The Epson prints awesome photos; I just prefer the 'pop' from Canon's dye-based inks. If you want super longevity/archival prints go with Epson and their pigment-based ink.
Thank you Amazon!
Happy printing everyone!
